Semarnat and Profepa Concealed Names of Real Estate Developments Closed in Puerto Vallarta

Government Lifts Closure on the Construction of Two Real Estate Developments in Puerto Vallarta

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico – The Federal Attorney for Environmental Protection (PROFEPA) has imposed environmental compliance measures on several real estate developments in Puerto Vallarta, as reported by Raúl Rodríguez Rosales, the local delegate for the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources (SEMARNAT). In a recent update, two of these developments have met the necessary regulations, and their closure seals have been removed, signaling a significant step towards environmental compliance and safety.

Rodríguez Rosales provided insights into the ongoing efforts aimed at regulating real estate projects in the area, indicating that six developers had approached authorities to adjust their projects according to the local regulations. “Out of these, two have already been approved; they have aligned themselves with the requirements specific to Vallarta,” stated Rodríguez Rosales. He further highlighted that the remaining four developments are making satisfactory progress towards compliance and are anticipated to contribute positively to the local economy.

The enforcement actions follow a series of meetings held last year involving real estate developers and government officials at various levels. These discussions focused on addressing critical issues such as landslide zones and civil protection standards, with an emphasis on areas prone to mass and rock slides. “The meeting in December was centered around organizing these developments, prioritizing the safety and environmental sustainability of projects within Puerto Vallarta,” Rodríguez Rosales elaborated.

Only those developers adhering to PROFEPA’s stringent environmental guidelines will be permitted to continue their construction activities and have their closure seals removed. This process involves the submission of a comprehensive environmental impact study, as noted by real estate businessman Miguel Tejeda in a recent interview with CPS Noticias. In response to the federal requirements, developers have agreed to halt legal actions previously initiated, paving the way for a collaborative resolution.

The crackdown follows last year’s closure of approximately 22 developments in the area, some of which were nearing completion. These measures underscore the authorities’ commitment to environmental safety and regulation compliance, ensuring that all real estate developments within Puerto Vallarta adhere to established norms and contribute to the sustainable growth of the region.
